Vanaropasutta

“Kesaṁ divā ca ratto ca, sadā puññaṁ pavaḍḍhati; Dhammaṭṭhā sīlasampannā, ke janā saggagāmino”ti.

Planters

“Whose merit always grows by day and by night? What people—firm in principle, accomplished in conduct— are going to heaven?”

“Ārāmaropā vanaropā, ye janā setukārakā; Papañca udapānañca, ye dadanti upassayaṁ.

“Planters of parks or groves, those who build a bridge, a drinking place and well, and those who give monastic quarters.

Tesaṁ divā ca ratto ca, sadā puññaṁ pavaḍḍhati; Dhammaṭṭhā sīlasampannā, te janā saggagāmino”ti.

Their merit always grows by day and by night. Those people—firm in principle, accomplished in conduct— are going to heaven.”
